Funkydog was talking about Ferguson treating Britney Spears with dignity, not the Letterman video.

I though it was pretty well known that Letterman could get pretty hostile with interviewees that were high, combative, or otherwise uncooperative.
Most of the people here were in elementary school when this aired.

Oh thank god, I knew Ferguson was usually great about addiction/rehab/etc and was worried that he was shitty towards her too. Hes just too fantastic for Hollywood.
Yeah, he's had some great monologues on things like this. A fantastic guy.

Also fuck Letterman, finally got around to watching the clip and is just disgusting.

Which is why his Bill O Reilly interviews were usually entertaining.

Ill take the bait.

Generally before the shows tapes there is a preshow meeting between host and guest and they discuss the upcoming interview.

Letterman seemed yo have ignored the plan from the preshow meeting and blind sided her with jokes and questions regarding her addictions and plans to go to rehab.

Edit: It appears that Lohan was on the show to promote a movie which was ignored. Letterman appears to he trying to pit Lohan on the spot in a sensitive topic and have his "gotcha" moment.

Big difference between badgering someone over trying to beat their own demons, make their life better for them and those around them, and badgering a unremorseful douchebag whose every second on his agenda is feeding his own ego.

I thought the common opinion for moments like this was "Celebs are put into these situations all the time. They should be ready for this kinda stuff." Why is this one different?

That said, I did think he was a bit too aggressive. Nothing worth being outraged over, but it was unnecessary.

He said we shouldn't be making fun of someone having a breakdown, as she's still a person and not someone to get cheap laughs from.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGLzpt3caHw

Just be warned, the audience are fucking deplorable in this and I applaud Craig's restraint in handling them howling in laughter at saying a woman died.

Craig Ferguson is amazing. I'm sad I only got into his show on Youtube. He's up there with Conan as true professionals and hilarious talk show hosts.

Which reminds me, the only Conan bit I know of mocking Britney Spears at that time was when they made Max Weinberg some patriotic pervert giving this emotional speech about wanting to see her vagina. >_>

so we can only badger someone who is a douchebag and make them feel even worse for themselves?

wheres the positivity in that? Thats a toxic mentality I think

Yeah, I'm sad I only heard he had a show after he'd stepped down but watching it on youtube he really is miles above any host this side of the pond or in America. Rarely, if ever, actually an interview and just banter. His travels around are pretty great and what I loved about his and Conan's show as well.

Plus the shameless flirting with hot women was always amusing to see.

I always liked when his friends would be on the show like Hugh Laurie or Peter Capaldi or Shirley Manson or Kristen Bell. It was so resfreshing.

I think it's funny how Conan and Ferguson both get away with flirting with female guests because it's painfully obvious they are doing it to elicit humor and not actually make the guest pressured. And, in Conan's case, when he finds out he has gone too far, immediately stops and apologizes.

America was really spoiled by those two. And prime Stewart/Colbert.

Dave was often a huge dickhead. Watch any time he had Richard Simmons on the show. Im pretty sure he made him cry at least once too. I know Richard stopped coming on the show when Dave blasted him with a fire extinguisher and triggered an asthma attack.

I think it's what made his show the best and better than the snoozefest that is current talk shows.

He was anti talk show, anti media, anti hollywood, that's why it was awesome. It was the only place the counter culture could go late at night in the cable TV era.

And the general "know" if you listen to any comedian's podcast, is that Letterman was the most real and genuine talk show host during his run. And I'd imagine if he was giving a millionaire super model a hard time, they probably deserved it.

I just can't imagine having sympathy for pill popping millionaires that so obviously look down on "normal people", but I guess some people are culture consumers.

Someone mentioned it.

Also, TBH I think Lindsay held her own pretty well in that, all things concidered.
